AIM: To establish the technique of precision-cut fibrotic liver slice (PCLS) and grope the optimal cultural conditions for researching the liver xenobiotic metabolism in vitro and the drug interaction. METHODS: Complex factors (higher fat diet, alcohol and CCl 4) were used to make the animal model of liver fibrosis. Fibrotic liver slices were prepared and cultivation system was established. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity and 3[4,5-Dimethythiazole-2-yl]-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction were chosen as indexes to assess the viability of the slice in different thickness, medium pH and cultural time. RESULTS: Rats were in earlier hepatic fibrosis after administration for 3 weeks. When the thickness of slices was 300 ?m and medium pH was 7.0, the LDH leakage, GST activity and MTT reduction could maintain on a steady level in 6 h. CONCLUSION: A 300 ?m of thickness, 7.0 of medium pH and 6 h of cultural time are the optimal slicing and culturing conditions for fibrotic liver slice.

Objective To probe into the methods of postoperative nursing care for the patient undergoing domino liver transplantation.Methods The key of postoperative care included:monitoring of vital signs,the condition of cruor and the state of drainage rigorously; keeping the balance of intake and output; taking the immunosuppressive drugs correctly; proper diet; prevention of complication;giving psychological nursing.Results The patients passed the perioperative period successfully and were all cured.Conclusions To aim at the characteristic of this operation,implement holistic nursing care,is an important link to assure the patients of domino liver transplantation to recover smoothly after the operation.

Objective: To investigate the effect of GLP1 on the blood glucose in type 2 diabetic rats,and its protective effects on the islet B cells.Methods: Thirty rats were divided into three groups: spontaneous type 2 diabetes animal model OLETF rats,GLP-1 [from the twelfth week 56 ?g/(kg?d),sc] therapy group and LETO rats as control.In the 14th and 20th weeks,standard OGTT including fast and 2 h-plasma glucose were measured respectively.In the 14th weeks,3 rats from each group were killed randomly,and the rest of the rats were killed until the 20th week.Immunostaining with the marker of PCNA,TUNEL,and insulin assessed metabolic changes in the islet. Ultrastructure of the B cell was observed with the electronic microscope.Results: In the 14th and 20th week,AUC for insulin were higher in treated animals(10.86?1.56 vs.9.07?1.28,P

Analysis of metabolic activities of cytochrome P450 isoenzyme is a crucial index to study drug/toxicant metabolism, drug-drug interaction, polymorphism and et al. Due to this practice, it is important to use the proper probe substrate and to conduct the experiment under optimal conditions. The validation information in literatures on the most common and newest in vitro probe substrates have been reviewed.

Objective To study the efficacy and adverse reactions of the treatment on different types of infantile hemangiomas (IH) with different doses of propranolol .Methods One hundred and fifty cases of IH without contraindications were randomly treated with different doses of propranolol (low dose group:1 mg?kg -1 ?d-1 ;high dose group:2 mg?kg -1 ?d-1 ) under ECG monitoring inferior half an hour to breastfeeding taking ,and stay in hospital for observation for 6 to 24 hours after the treatment . The patients returned to the hospital for review every month(ECG and blood RT ;lung function in necessary) .Results The curative effect is better on strawberry IH than that on flat IH ,also better on deeply IH than that on superficial IH .The adverse reactions oc‐curred relatively slight in the low dose group and there was no significantly statistical differences on the treatment effects between the both groups(P>0 .05) .Conclusion It is safe and effective to treat IH with propranolol .

OBJECTIVE To explore the application of data mining(DM) technique in the management against hospital infection in operating room.METHODS The data in hospital information system(HIS) were comprehended,prepared and then excavated by the base of DM technique,which were used to evaluate the management against hospital infection in operating room.RESULTS DM could be applied in variety fields against hospital infection in operating room,such as,intelligent preparing system of sterile and disposable articles in operating room,prediction of incisional wound infection after operation to arrange operation reasonably and to prevent abuse of antibiotic,analysis of the application of antibiotics during peri-operation and the rules of their drug resistance happened,and mangement of visitors and trainees,in solving the difficulty and avoiding the error using HIS,and in dynamic monitoring of routine work of hospital infection in operating room.CONCLUSIONS The new technique of DM can be applied to distinguish those unknown,effective,novel and potential information or knowledge from database,and can be effectively applied on the management of hospital infection in operating room.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of integrons in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from blood samples in Peking University People′s Hospital and to analyze the correlation between integrons and drug resistance of P.aeruginosa.METHODS Forty-two strains of clinically isolated P.aeruginosa were collected.The antibiotics susceptibility was tested by K-B methods.Integrase gene of integron was amplified by PCR using degenerate primers.The integrons were classified by restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) analysis of positive PCR products with Hinf Ⅰ restriction enzyme.RESULTS The drug-resistance rates of 42 strains of P.aeruginosa against 20 kinds of antibiotics ranged from 9.5% to 100%.Twenty-three strains were resistant to 12 kinds of antibiotics.Nineteen of the 42 isolates(45.2%) contained integrons,all of which were revealed as class Ⅰ of integrons by RFLP analysis.Neither class Ⅱ nor class Ⅲ of integron was detected.The positive percentage of integrons was increased by years.CONCLUSIONS Class Ⅰ integrons are widespread in isolates from blood samples in our hospital.The presence of integrons is closely associated with multi-drug resistance of P.aeruginosa.

Objective To study the prognosis significance of intratumoral microvascular density(IMD)and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in malignant mesothelioma.Methods The data of 79 cases were reviewed of malignant mesothelioma confirmed by histology,immunohistochemistry and telectron microscope.CD34 and the expression of VEGF were detected by Immunohistochemical method.Results The age of the patients with malignant mesothelioma ranged from 11 to 79 years.The peak incidence of malignant mesothelioma was at the range of 40-50 years.The sex ratio of male to female was 1.78∶1.The survival period of the 79 cases was between 5 and 160 months with the medial survival of 23 months.According to histological structure,these cases were divided into epithelioid type(51 cases),sarcomatous type(20 cases)and mixed type(8 cases).For the VEGF positive expression,epithelioid type was 26 cases(50.98%),sarcomatous type was 13 cases(65.00)and mixed type was 5 cases(62.50%).Based on the mean IMD,the patients with malignant mesothelioma were divided into two groups.The survival time of the patients in the higher IMD group was significantly shorter than those in the lower IMD group.The analysis,on the relation of VEGF expression to IMD,as well as survival time and histological subtype,showed that VEGF expression was positively correlated to IMD(P=0.02,r=0.330 2).A significant difference existed between the survival of VEGF positive expression and negative expression(P0.05).Conclusion The results suggest that the prognosis of malignant mesothelioma probably related with IMD and VEGF expression.The higher index of IMD and the higher expression of VEGF might imply a worse prognosis.

Objective To research the relationship among the disc protrusion on MRI, sex, age, course and the clinical types. Methods MRI was performed for 102 patients. The disc protrusion was divided into three types. According to clinical types, the patients were divided into four types. Statistically, age, course, clinical type and protrusion on MRI were analyzed by SPSS13.0. Results The age was not related with the clinical types and disc protrusion on MRI. There were obvious relations between clinical types and course. There were obvious relations between clinical types and disc protrusion. Conclusion The clinical types are very important on diagnosis of disease stages and choice of therapy in treating lumbar disc protrusion.
